"Spidey
Strikes Back!" Featuring The Human Torch!
With much of New York thinking that Spidey is washed up, and worse,

himself as a hero and crime fighter. But before he can, the Sandman,
joining forces with The Enforcers, makes plans for the biggest robbery
ever — easier now that there’s no Spider-Man around to stop them!
But when the Human Torch gets in their way, it’s up to Spidey to
find and free his fiery pal before the bad guys can get away with
the loot!

PREVIEWS #16
Hey, good lookin’!
Got your attention, didn’t I? This is the Wolverine, bub, and I’m
this month’s guest-speaker for the Marketing Department at Marvel.
Before I roll this "indispensable ordering tool" into
my back pocket and hit the road for some suds, I wanted to talk
to you spuds about Marvel Previews.
Now, from the
script: "Each issue of MARVEL PREVIEWS is a comic-book-sized,
96-page, glossy full-color guide to all of Marvel's upcoming releases."
If Marvel Previews knows what’s good for it, it includes special
previews of upcoming or sold-out projects that me and my X-Men pals
may appear in. This issue — MARVEL PREVIEWS #14 — features items
scheduled to go on sale in January 2005! Man, January, huh? I remember
a January in Madripoor with that Tyger . . . well, that’s a story
for another time, when you’re a little older…
Well, that’s
all I’m sayin’. Go ask your retailer to reserve you a copy and order
form today, or the next knock at your door just might be a 5’3"
guy, who’s the best there is at what he does!
